Good:
* The handle is very comfy and secure in the hand. When working for long periods of time, the SRK didn't create any hotspots, unlike my Fallkniven F1
* The steel: This is my first knife in SK5 and I'm impressed. I did a lot of cross-grain batoning and notch-making on a recent 3-day camping trip and I did not see any bends, chips, or other edge-deformation. Granted, where I live, we don't typically have many hardwood trees. This was done primarily on Douglas Fir and Big Leaf Maple wood. I had a good working edge even on the last day of the trip and the knife still shaved. Edge is easy to touch-up as well without needing fancy diamond stones.
* The blade: This SRK has a very very slight hollow grind. It is just barely noticeable. Before I got the knife in my hand, I was a bit worried that it would be too thin behind the edge and be weak. That is not the case. The hollow grind hasn't affected the performance of the knife at all. The tip of the knife is acute and pointy, but not too thin. I still wouldn't go around using it as a prybar though. Sharpness was great right out of the box, but a few passes on a fine stone followed by a strop really made it pop.
Neutral:
* The sheath is okay. If you pull the knife in and out of the sheath 100 times it will slightly dull the blade, but you'll still have a working edge. Check out Cedric & Ada's Youtube video about this. The retention and ability to lash the sheath into different positions is a plus. Honestly though, it's a better sheath than what you'll find on all other knives in this price range, and even better than some on more expensive knives.
Cons:
* Not really a con, but the blade comes packed in oil. I understand they do this to prevent rust during storage and shipping, but it's just a slight inconvenience to clean it out of the sheath.
* It's a fantastic all-around knife, but it's not the best knife for any one job. Not big enough to be a chopper (although it'll handle de-limbing small branches just fine), and too big to be a handy bushcrafty knife or good whittler. I knew that would be the case when I bought it though.
This knife will do just about anything you need it to do. Except bring you coffee. It doesn't do that.
The size of the knife (6" blade) is just right for handling most tasks, from the most mundane to the almost intricate. It's strong, it's designed well, and it fits so well in my hand that it feels lighter than it actually is. This is the knife that "becomes a part of you."
Straight out of the box, this knife is sharp. It's not shaving sharp but, it's close. The blade's edge and logos come with a slight bit of what seems to be grease which is an added step Cold Steel didn't have to bother with but, they did it anyway.
Unlike some other "name-brand" knife companies out there, the grip isn't flimsy plastic. It is heavily stippled on all surfaces and it gives a really great feeling of control.
The sheath is a combination of kydex and nylon. It is amazing how well the sheath works at keeping the knife in place without using the nylon keeper. Personally, I hope it maintains that snugness so the knife and sheath never get lost.
If you're new to knives, this isn't the one to start with. But, if you have experience you'll like this knife.
The blade wasn’t razor sharp when I received it, it did have a really nice working edge though. Not sure about the blade tip, it appears like it could break if used to pry. I’d steer clear of doing that. The spine is coated like the rest of the blade and isn’t sharp enough to use on Ferro rod. A little work will solve that problem.
The sheath is decent. Retention after long term use may fade….. Can’t make a call on that. Haven’t had it that long. All in all it is a pretty good knife for what you’ll pay for it. I’ll be strapping it at my side for local excursions, and be happy to do so. But I won’t go out on a limb and call it a dedicated survival knife. I’m kind of doubtful about its durability with heavier uses over a period of time. Again, for what you’ll pay it is a great knife that should give you many years of moderate service. I even bought one for my son for general use while camping. I’d definitely buy it again.

It comes with a Kydex sheath that is so tight, the knife is very difficult to remove. I assume it will loosen with use.
I recommend this knife to anyone spending time outdoors.

Reviewed in Brazil on July 28, 2023
Es capas de cortar laminas de metal sin deformarse el bisel del filo, ni perderlo. Es muy ergonómico, se amolda perfectamente a la mano, al momento de usarlo no se siente incomodidad, también tiene un excelente filo de fabrica, además de que su funda se amodalda perfectamente a la hoja del cuchillo, se puede extraerse sin mucho esfuerzo.
OJO: ES UN CUCHILLO TACTICO, NO ES DE CACERIA (NO DEBES APUÑALAR MADERA O MATERIALES DUROS POR QUE VAS A DAÑAR LA PUNTA DE LA HOJA), Y POR EL TIPO DE ACERO PIERDE EL FILO CON EL USO, EN ESPECIAL CUANDO LOS MATERIALES A CORTAR SON DUROS.
He notado en muchos comentarios que este cuchillo se desafila y que les es difícil afiliarlo; para empezar, si buscas un cuchillo que no se desafile fácilmente entonces tú opción no son los cuchillos de acero al carbón, 440, sk5 o sus similares, ya que todos esos aceros tienden a perder filo con el uso en materiales duros, incluso se llegan a mellar, si lo que buscas es una hoja con una retención de filo duradera entonces busca cuchillos como mínimo en acero D2 en adelante pero ten en cuenta que estos aceros no son fáciles de afilar y por lo general se recomienda que se afile a maquina, en cambio los anteriores aceros mencionados son fáciles de afilar en cualquier piedra de afilado (siempre y cuando sepas afilar). Eso sí, no esperes que los cuchillos de acero de gran calidad te cuesten 48 dólares, eso ni en sueños pasará.
Algunas personas se quejan que la punta se rompe al clavarlo contra una superficie de madera o que su bisel no está similar en ambos lados. Ha ver, por el precio del cuchillo no se puede pedir un hoja geometrícamente perfecta, si buscas algo que tenga un bisel perfecto entonces comienza a invertir en más de 70 dólares. En cuanto a lo que se rompe la punta cuando lo clavas contra una superficie de madera, pues para empezar la hoja no es covex por lo tanto la probabilidad de que la punta se rompa siempre va existir y eso pasa en cualquier cuchillo de calidad siempre que la hoja no sea convex, si buscas un cuchillo que no se rompa la punta pues ve invirtiendo como mínimo 160 dólares, más o menos es el precio del kizlyar Ural o si sientes que el cuchillo es muy caro también están opciones baratas pero de excelente calidad: mora en cualquiera de sus versiones que van desde los 25 dólares a los 100; claro está que cuando empiezas a comprar un cuchillo como el Ural estás entrando a otra gama mucha más alta, cuando miren el Ural lo entenderán.
Handle is okay for comfort but great for grip in the worst of conditions when failing isnt a option and you want a knife you can trust!
